On Monday, instantly after the makers of Merry Christmas introduced their new launch date for a similar day as Karan Johar’s manufacturing Yodha, the filmmaker posted a rant on Threads. He lamented about studios and producers clashing movies on the identical day “without the courtesy of a phone call.” Now, filmmaker Onir has responded to Karan’s rant.

What did Onir say?
Onir took to Twitter and wrote: “Big Bollywood releases get so upset when there is another big budget release the same day and they talk about how we should all care for each other in the industry, but don’t think for a second when they deprive a small budget indie film of a tiny number of good shows to survive.”
Veiled comment in the direction of Karan?
Karan Johar took to Threads on Monday and wrote, “Clashing on a date without the courtesy of a phone call is hopefully not the way forward for the studios and producers …. If we don’t stand united in these tough and challenging theatrical days then calling us a fraternity is futile.”
While Yodha is an motion movie starring Sidharth Malhotra, Disha Patani and Raashi Khanna, produced by Karan’s banner Dharma Productions, Merry Christmas is a darkish comedy thriller directed by Sriram Raghvan and produced underneath his banner Matchbox Pictures. Co-produced by Ramesh Taurani’s Tips Industries, it’s a bilingual (Hindi and Tamil) starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi. Both movies are actually slated to be launched in theatres on December 15.
